LC-MS/MS Measurement of Nanomaterial Induced Genotoxicity in Isolated DNA

November 24, 2015
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Elijah J. Petersen, Pawel Jaruga, M Miral Dizdar
Making accurate measurements of the environmental fate and environmental and biological effects of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) is critical for reliable risk assessment of these materials. However, the unique behaviors of ENMs may cause artifacts in

Maps of Non-hurricane Non-tornadic Wind Speeds With Specified Mean Recurrence Intervals for the Contiguous United States Using a Two-Dimensional Poisson Process Extreme Value Model and Local Regression

November 12, 2015
Author(s)
Adam L. Pintar, Emil Simiu, Franklin T. Lombardo, Marc L. Levitan
This report describes a procedure for creating maps of non-hurricane, non-tornadic wind speeds for a set of recurrence intervals of interest between \num{10} and \num{100000} years over the contiguous United States. The procedure is carried out in two

A Profile for U. S. Federal Cryptographic Key Management Systems

October 28, 2015
Author(s)
Elaine B. Barker, Miles Smid, Dennis Branstad
This Profile for U. S. Federal Cryptographic Key Management Systems (FCKMSs) contains requirements for their design, implementation, procurement, installation, configuration, management, operation, and use by U. S. Federal organizations. The Profile is

Re-Certification of SRM 2492: Bingham Paste Mixture for Rheological Measurements

August 25, 2015
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Alex Olivas, William F. Guthrie, Blaza Toman
Rheological measurements are often performed using a rotational rheometer. In this type of rheometer, the tested fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which is rotating [1]. Usually, an angular velocity is imposed on the fluid (through the rotating

Vetting the Security of Mobile Applications

Author(s)
Stephen Quirolgico, Jeffrey M. Voas, Tom T. Karygiannis, Christoph Michael, Karen Scarfone
The purpose of this document is to help organizations (1) understand the process for vetting the security of mobile applications, (2) plan for the implementation of an app vetting process, (3) develop app security requirements, (4) understand the types of

Guidelines for Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials

December 19, 2014
Author(s)
Hildegard Ferraiolo, David A. Cooper, Salvatore Francomacaro, Andrew R. Regenscheid, Jason Mohler, Sarbari Gupta, William E. Burr
This recommendation provides technical guidelines for the implementation of standards-based, secure, reliable, interoperable PKI-based identity credentials that are issued by Federal departments and agencies to individuals who possess and prove control

The Structure of Optimal and Near Optimal Target Sets in Consensus Models

December 19, 2014
Author(s)
Fern Y. Hunt
We consider the problem of identifying a subset of nodes in a network that will enable the fastest spread of information in a decentralized environment. In a model of communication based on a random walk on an undirected graph, the optimal set over all

Approximate Matching: Definition and Terminology

July 2, 2014
Author(s)
Frank Breitinger, Barbara Guttman, Michael McCarrin, Vassil Roussev, Douglas R. White
This document provides a definition of and terminology for approximate matching. Approximate matching is a promising technology designed to identify similarities between two digital artifacts. It is used to find objects that resemble each other or to find

Guide to Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Definition and Considerations

January 16, 2014
Author(s)
Chung Tong Hu, David F. Ferraiolo, David R. Kuhn, Adam Schnitzer, Kenneth Sandlin, Robert Miller, Karen Scarfone
This document provides Federal agencies with a definition of attribute based access control (ABAC). ABAC is a logical access control methodology where authorization to perform a set of operations is determined by evaluating attributes associated with the
